"We The People"

In the second of three BSO concerts curated by Yo-Yo Ma, the cellist explores the vibrancy of American music and its reflection of the triumphs, tragedies, and vitality of our country with roots musicians Aoife O'Donovan and Jennifer Kreisberg.

In the first of three BSO concerts curated by Yo-Yo Ma, he and violinist Renaud Capuçon are the soloists in the Double Concerto by Brahms, part of a program led by Samy Rachid.

Ahead of "We The People," a week-long festival he curated for the Boston Symphony Orchestra at Tanglewood, legendary cellist Yo-Yo Ma speaks about the power of practicing gratitude, music's role in restoring the spirit, and what we can learn from Johannes Brahms.
